If you're looking at this, then you already know that you have way too many user names, passwords, PINs, access codes, and account numbers to remember on your own. You need a simple and safe way to put all of these in one place and then be able to get to them quickly when you need them. You found it. strong room uses industry best practices for encryption and security to protect your secrets from unauthorized access and presents and manages them within a simple, flexible, and intuitive user-interface. SECRET TYPES strong room doesn't just store passwords. You can store any type of user login, email account, credit card, debit card, access code, voicemail account, combination code, or client account. All in one place! CUSTOM FIELDS Each type of secret includes it's own specific set of fields for input, but you can add whatever else you need as a custom field, and there's a notes field too for all of those other details! CATEGORIES Organize your secrets by assigning them to one of the pre-defined categories or create your own categories and use them instead. TAGS Further categorize your items by assigning one or more 'tags' to associate them with things like 'work', or 'kids', or 'personal' and whatever other kind of tag that you need. FILTER AND SEARCH Use the assigned categories and tags to filter your secret list or find a secret quickly and easily by entering its name in the always-present search-field. SECURE PRIVATE BROWSING Assign a website to your secret and access the site directly from within the app, including quick access to the secret fields that you need for authentication. PASSWORD AUTOFILL Devices running iOS 12 or later with biometric authentication enabled for strong room can enable Password Autofill on the device and get access to strong room user logins directly from the standard iOS Password AutoFill mechanisms for websites and apps. DATA EXPORT AND IMPORT Securely export your stored secrets for backup purposes or for importing into another device.
